Pete Rose, 'Shoeless' Joe Jackson reinstated from MLB's permanently ineligible list: Next stop, Hall of Fame?​

Pete Rose, Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader, has been posthumously reinstated by Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred, the league announced Tuesday. The decision removes Rose from MLB's permanently ineligible list after some 36 years as Manfred ruled that lifetime bans do not apply posthumously. Manfred's decision comes after a petition filed by California attorney Jeffrey Lenkov, who represented Rose prior to his September 2024 death at the age of 83, and public pressure from President Donald Trump.

Mixed emotions...but the "Steroid Boys" no way.

Pete Rose comes from a time when 'gambling' wasn't permitted because one could 'throw' a game based upon your bet.

It used to be disallowed and greatly frowned upon in polite society, but nowadays gambling is endemic in every State of the Union. Government even advertises FOR it.

It's like fraud. You're not busted til you get caught and we all know 'fraud' happens every day in government, yet no one gets convicted.

Dissing Rose is the height of their hypocrisy, because they're all guilty of 'gambling' in some form or another.
